1An oracle concerning Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum of Elkosh.
2The Lord is a jealous God and avenging,
the Lord is avenging and wrathful;
the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries
and keeps wrath for his enemies.
3
and will pursue his enemies into darkness.
9What do you plot against the Lord?
He will make a full end;
he will not take vengeance twice on his foes.
10Like entangled thorns they are consumed,
like dry stubble.
11Did one not come out from you,
who plotted evil against the Lord,
and counseled villainy?
12Thus says the Lord,
“Though they be strong and many,
they will be cut off and pass away.
Though I have afflicted you,
I will afflict you no more.
13And now I will break his yoke from off you
and will burst your bonds asunder.”
14The Lord has given commandment about you:
“No more shall your name be perpetuated;
from the house of your gods I will cut off
the graven image and the molten image.
I will make your grave, for you are vile.”
15 Is 40.9; 52.7; Acts 10.36; Rom 10.15. Behold, on the mountains the feet of him
who brings good tidings,
who proclaims peace!
Keep your feasts, O Judah,
fulfil your vows,
for never again shall the wicked come against you,
he is utterly cut off.
